Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The weapons seen in this movie are
MAC 10 with extended barrel
The one in the movie didn't have a stock, though.
SIG-Sauer P226
Lt. Hiram Coffey (Michael Biehn) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 9mm, the standard issue pistol for the U.S. Navy SEALs.
- I would need to see screencaps to be sure, but I remember the gun being a P220. The P226 may be used by the SEALs in real life, but the prop weapon used in the movie could have still been a P220.
- The only good shots of the gun itself are pretty dark, so it is hard to tell the diameter of the barrel; but, the rounds they show during the scene when Ed Harris tries to subdue Michael Biehn are clearly 9mm FMJ's.
- The diameter of the bore isn't necessary to tell if it's a P226 or not; in fact, it would be irrelevant because the earliest P220s were also 9mm. I would need to see if it has the double-stack creases on the sides of the frame. That's how you can tell a P226 apart from a P220. -MT2008
Just Watched it, after Coffey ([Biehn]) imprisons the crew there are clear shots of the pistol. It is definitely double stack, so it's a 226.
M16A2
Or maybe M16A1 with A2 handguard. It is seen wielded by the Bethnic Explorer's Armed QM at the scene when the underwater alien palace rises from the sea.
- I was watching it earlier n it was clearly a M16A2. The Winchester
